The rapid advancements in nanotechnology have spotlighted the potential of extremely thin materials, also known as two-dimensional (2D) materials, which consist of a few atomic layers. These materials have become focal points in electronics and quantum technology due to their unique properties that deviate significantly from traditional bulk crystals. As researchers explore the optical and
Science
The exploration of the universe’s earliest moments is a tantalizing frontier in modern physics. Scientists are harnessing advanced lab experiments aimed at replicating a mysterious phase of matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang. The theoretical framework provided by RIKEN physicist Hidetoshi Taya and his collaborators predicts an unexpected and valuable consequence of these
